    Dear Mr Joyce...

    Exactly. They had someone like that but passed him over for a bean counter. That someone is now really stirring things up in a positive way for Virgin. And I am sure there's more to come. He has a mission to achieve with his new employer and certainly some scores to settle with QF by showing...

    Luggage left behind, very poor qantas

    Five days to arrive and the bag actually arrived at BNE while I was in the long line at the missing baggage line. All I was given was a URL to check on the progress on tracking my bags. Calls to QF customer service during this time gave the same advice and nothing more. If it would be...

    Luggage left behind, very poor qantas

    Once again, my international flight arrived in SYD late and QF insisted on booking me on the original connecting flight despite it being impossible to make the connection. I am talking 20 minutes from getting out of immigration to departure time for the connecting flight. I don't think I'm...

    Umm I did ask for a change of flights. Computer said NO.

    Luggage left behind, very poor qantas

    I have a better description of QF luggage 'service' but I'd doubt if the post would stay on for long. Two years ago I landed in SYD on a late QF international flight and had a tight domestic connection to make. I asked to be put on a later flight as there was no way my luggage would get to the...

    JetStar to invest $500 mln in Singapore hub, add aircraft

    What good PR it is to be flying a subsidiary of an airline that screams to all who will listen 'I still call Australia home". It's another step towards the end of QF as we knew it.

    Dear Mr Joyce...

    What's his email address, not that he would personally read or respond to it anyway. Let alone care. What was the scripted phone reply if any? From experience my replies from QF have been identical by phone, email or just ignoring them. All promises and nothing resulting from those promises...

    Dear Mr Joyce...

    Forgot to add that it's easier to be given a free upgrade even on a QF award ticket when flying with a certain partner airline, than it is to offer to throw hard earned points at QF for the same thing and have their noses turned up at the prospect. The last 5/5 award flights on partner airlines...

    Dear Mr Joyce...

    Very similar posts here and probably for a very good reason. I have been a QF FF card holder and flyer since about 1996 and in the elite range for about the last 10 years, and have seen things deteriorate. Similar gripes to above posters - sheesh I thought I was the only one. However this has...

    Seatcounter under maintenance?

    I'm missing seatcounter so much. Is there another freeby site still around with similar information? Thanks in advance.

    The Qantas new bag tag test - how long will they last?

    My tag was unable to be read. It happens so wasn't worried. So off I went to the desk who told me I should be using the tag device. (And not wasting their time) Success! On arrival my tag was missing.

    Business Class Great offers

    I use BF as a guide. I once booked a J flight to Europe with them months before departure and paid for it. I received an email from the agent giving some bull story about my flight about QF shifting me to a CX flight. I rang QF who told me there was no problem, just that BF found a cheaper...

    Qantas boosts high-flyer perks, mulls lifetime Platinum status - from Ausbt

    In recent years I have rarely come across any QF FA I would ever want to meet again let alone to be a "dedicated FA'. In fact I dread coming across a number of them. In my opinion all FAs should all be dedicated to every passenger in every class. Isn't this their job? This is one area which...

    Dear Mr Joyce...

    Agree totally here. Every flight is a lottery with how ground staff and cabin staff behave. Mr J send some of your staff - or me - on a few flights and have them report honestly on their experiences. There are times I swear to myself never to get on a QF flight again. I'm quite happy for my...

    Bossreggie bids Adieu to AFF

    Am so upset you are leaving the community because of a few people this planet can do without. I was a regular here as well for a number of years and chucked it in quite some time ago due to the overt nastiness by certain users. I don't need it, especially at home. However what I experienced...

    Bossreggie bids Adieu to AFF

    I'm a newbie here but I've lurked and researched threads for a while now. Your advice is always honest, easy to follow, useful and without any negativity or putdowns. You seem to have a wonderful lifestyle and perhaps due to Karma. All the best in your future endeavours.

    Qantas tells 120 pilots they can go fly for Emirates

    Just as the title says. Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere or in the wrong section. Does Joyce have a deathwish for QF? This, combined with badly needed new aircraft on order going to Jet* Qantas giving pilots leave to go fly for Emirates | Plane Talking

    The Future of Tiger?

    I've never flown TT and I did a search on AFF and was amazed to find the vast number of negative posts about them. Unfortunately TT have no one to blame but themselves. Yep some people just whinge, but there is too much of it to be ignored. TT have been put on notice by the travelling public...
